About

Daily Agenda

Read full description

A daily planner: one anchor, a few deep-work signals, the rest can wait. Most to-do apps hand you an endless list and a fresh wave of guilt. Daily Agenda does the opposite. It gives your day a calm, focused shape: one Anchor, a few deep-work Signals, and the quiet confidence that the rest can wait. Built on a simple truth — deep work comes first, urgent is not important — Daily Agenda helps you protect your best hours for the work that actually moves your life forward. • ONE ANCHOR Pick the single task that defines your day. If you finish only this, today was a win. • A FEW SIGNALS Choose a small set of deep-work sessions — never more than a few. Focus beats volume. • QUICK TASKS, KEPT APART Managerial busywork lives in its own lane, slotted between blocks, never before your real work. • A MORNING RITUAL Start with a five-minute plan: pick your Signals, set your Anchor, pull anything waiting from your Backlog. • A SHUTDOWN RITUAL End the day with a gentle review. Done is archived, unfinished rolls to tomorrow or back to the well. Nothing is lost. • THE BACKLOG A calm well for everything you're not doing today — capture it, forget it, dip back in when you're ready. • CALENDAR VIEW See your anchors and tasks across the week at a glance. • HOME SCREEN WIDGET Glance at today's Anchor and Signals without opening the app. • GENTLE REMINDERS Optional nudges to plan in the morning, check in through the day, and wind down at night — on your schedule, never noisy. • PRIVATE & OFFLINE Your day stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Daily Agenda is for people who want to do fewer things, better — deep workers, makers, students, and anyone tired of productivity theater. A calmer shape for your day.
